Few question about the updater

[griffin]

I've some question about mendatory files
Does the rpgupdater.exe is mandatory, or we could check for update only once a week for exemple, by rename it (I hate spend to much time launching L2 that will launch the updater first, and check-file, even if I run it 1 min ago)
Another thing, can we edit the L2.ini by replace system by a custom directory, for exemple rpg-club, in order to have multiple system directory ?
And the last, can we delete all files *-ru.dat, and put them in exceptionList of the updater ?

(So, I keep original all .dll, all .exe, all .bin files, and other .dat .ini .int  )

You can keep all your original.dll, .exe, .bin etc... I just changed retail system with rpg system and i can perfectly play, no need to update everything

you can always run the updater and configure it NOT to update the files you want like here

but is the updater running to you? coz i noticed that about a month now, after it downloaded and applied a "fix.exe" when i run l2.exe it immediately launch the game without running the updater regardless if it is in the same folder and with the correct name

Thx for your resp

wildjohn, The main pb  : I can't edit excluded files, and if I edit with the rpgupdater.ini (line exceptFile = ), the filter doesn't accept wildcard, so I have to put every files I don't want, and there are numerous :S

About the updater and the fix :
The fix modify the host windows file,
L2 run the updater, but only when he want, sometimes no :S
